The soc as a service market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the SOC as a service market has experienced robust expansion in the past few years. Its growth is projected to continue, rising from $4.33 billion in 2024 to $4.68 billion in 2025, amounting to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
The surge witnessed in the historical period can be associated with a rise in cybersecurity menaces, lack of internal security know-how, necessary compliance and regulatory duties, the spread of advanced persistent threats (APTS), and an increased number of security alerts.
The soc as a service market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the forthcoming years, the SOC as a service market is projected to experience accelerated growth. The market is estimated to expand to a value of $7.89 billion in 2029, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0%.
This growth forecast for the period can be linked to factors like the increasing complexity of cyber-attacks, the use of artificial intelligence in SOC services, the growth of cloud-based security solutions, higher acceptance by small and medium enterprises (SMs), and a focus on threat intelligence and information sharing. Key trends predicted for this period consist of the implementation of automation and orchestration in SOC operations, ongoing monitoring and incident response, zero trust security models, managed detection, response (MDR) services, and an emphasis on user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) in the SOC.
The surge in advanced cyber-attacks and security infringements is anticipated to boost the expansion of the SOC-as-a-service market in the future. Cyber-attacks involve attempts to obtain unauthorized entry to a computer or a system. The SOC-as-a-service aids in thwarting these attacks by enabling faster detection and resolution, utilizing technology and data science for quicker identification and the delivery of high-confidence alerts. For example, Checkpoint, an Israel-based software and hardware IT security provider, disclosed in January 2023 that global cyberattacks experienced a 38% uptick in 2022, relative to 2021. Hence, the radical escalation in the complexity of cyber-attacks and security violations is catalyzing the growth of the SOC-as-a-service market.
